Indoor Advice needed on future purchase next week

[snowryderguy]

Hi guys!

I am wanting to buy some kit next week and I came accross this product:

http://senua-hydroponics.co.uk/products/grow-light/clone-grow-tent-80cm-kit

I was wondering will the ventillation be sufficient, what size pots should I use as I want to grow 4 autos in there and how high should I keep the 600w light away from the plants at all times.

Thanks alot!

The ventilation should be fine as long as you run your flex tube to the outside and bring in fresh air and through the light. Pot size should be at least 3 to 5 gal.Keep your light as close as you can with out feeling heat right at the top of your girls.

Wow....
Namvet.. I am sorry but I have to disagree.. How do I put this.. Those 4" in-lines are not sufficient in my opinion. But to say, I haven't seen this particular type with the white fan before.. So I may have no idea what I am talking about. But the odd thing is, I would buy this package deal just to find out!

fan maybe ok think i may have seen these before. i would want a 1m tent for a 600w hps
3g pots should be good but i would want more than 4 autos

Snow, You could find out the specs for the tent to see what size the ventilation ports are which will show how big a fan will fit. It is normally advised to go with a fan larger/higher output than required as you can always fit a speed controller later, ensuring sufficient cooling for the 600w. Take a look at similar sized tents used in grows on AFN and if you ask, the members will give you more than enough helpful info.
Best of luck.

ps, someone always answers before I can get a post completed, slow down

Goin wi the 600w light ur after i would deff,,get a bigger tent 1.2x1.2x2.0m,,the 80x80x1.6m would b alright for a 250w HPS. Im usin the 4inch fan for my intake & 5inch for my extracton along wi my carbon fillter & can control my temp fine..I would be lookin at usin 6.5ltr-11ltr pots if usin soil u should get 4 in no bother.Have a look at www.growell.co.uk or www.hydrohobby.co.uk both ar very helpfull & got gd tents & full kits. Hope it helps u to get started m8,,,i do belive we should help al new growers in there need for help,,,:smokebuds:

80 cm to ft is 2.6 ft 2.6x2.6 is around 6.8 ft a 400w is 59w psft which is the top end of plenty 250w is 38w psft and factor in the lower lpw is on the lowers side you might scrape it

over 40w psft is the min for good flower

in that tent i would go no higher than a 400w but 600w in a 1x1 and a 1000w in a 1.2x1.2

i cant be bothered working it out now but the turnover with that fan should be plenty a 600w in that size room is a mistake
light distance will be an issue as well or a 1.6m tent

IMO...that's a pretty small tent and only 600w of hps....the fan that comes with it for vent moves 187 M3/Hr....that should be more than enuff..:thumbs:...

Thanks for the input Mrnice,your the only one that agreed with me.All he really wanted to know is if the fan would be enough for air movement, and how far away should the light be, and I think I answered him on my post with a simple answer without confusing him with all those detailed numbers.It looks like a goog starter kit and he can always update it later if he wants.

my first reply also agreed with you but it was a hybrid centrifugal fan if you did not know that it would have been a poor choice

light distance 2ft just google hps distance chart
a 600w could cook is plant so its well worth noting no matter the extraction

people only seem to believe you when you put the math down plus it gives a reference for other growers
